*** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

[Groundking]

Broad is more deadly these days as he has more magic spells than Jimmy seems to now but he has been well off his best in this series.

??? except he doesn't, Jimmy has 3 more 5 fors in the past 3 years

Hadn't realised Anderson had done that well. I was expecting mid-20s.

Anderson is brilliant. Shows no sign of slowing down with age. I just hope England don't start pushing him out and calling for him to be replaced if he goes for a few runs down under. He will always be more than a handful at home.

No chance, should he go to New Zealand afterwards he should do well there and then back in England next summer. By the end of next summer I would imagine he will be close to 550 wickets so 600 could be his target. At least beat McGrath just to wind up the crims.

Moeen has done a superb job today, if he can consistently bowl like this with no freebies that will be massive for the side

 

[flibbertyjibber]

20 for the series for Mo. Top effort.

 

[91Jmay]

There we go, built pressure and Maharaj just stuck in block or slog. Terrific from Mo

 

[ImpatientLime]

QdKs gotta go here surely

 

[Raffski]

Think moving to a 5 man attack has been huge for Anderson.

 

[Stefan9]

Batting letting us down again. Very disappointing.

 

[91Jmay]

The amount of dot balls Saffers have soaked up here has been crazy. Putting so much pressure on themselves

 

[Spark]

QdK has flown under the radar a bit but he's had a terrible series for a player of his quality.

 

[Kirkut]

How much have South Africa missed AB and Steyn here?

 

[Kirkut]

Woah, Rabada smacked it nice!

 

[91Jmay]

Annoying partnership, would suck to have less than 100 lead if we don't get them early tomorrow

 

[grecian]

Decent catch that.

 

[91Jmay]

Needed that, was becoming annoying to say the least. Great days play, can win the game and series tomorrow with the bat.

 

[91Jmay]

**** me that is a blinding catch

 

[StephenZA]

Damn that is a depressing score to come home too... sigh

 

[Furball]

Well yeah because he performs across a bigger range of conditions these days. But Jimmy is as destructive as anyone at home.

Broad's been kinda rubbish this series, which hinders my argument a bit. Still maintain it though.

No he doesn't.
